What is Therapy?

Therapy is an opportunity to work through life’s situations—about issues that are important to you as the client, while having a trained objective person (Therapist) help you dig deep to work through not only the current situations at hand, but applying it to the future. Therapy also involves healing from past situations as you navigate life’s highs and lows. Therapy can be about one specific problem, or it can be about multiple. The relationship between the therapist and the client and the work done is a collaborative one, as it requires an active role from both the client at the counselor to help bring change.

How can therapy help me?

There are too many benefits of participating in therapy to list! Therapists can provide support, problem solving skills and coping strategies for a wide range of issues. Therapists, being objective, can provide a different or a fresh perspective on a problem that you have been struggling with.
